College Cosmos (カレッジ・コスモス) is an idol group made up of female university students which was formed in October 2018 as a joint project between Space Craft Group and UP-FRONT GROUP.
The group was formed in search of a new type of idol to replace the present image of “idol (アイドル) = guuzou (偶像)”—guuzou being the Japanese word for “idol” which has the connotation of religious or cult-like worship. Therefore College Cosmos will not have the unspoken “love ban” rule. The members will balance work and their studies with the aim of becoming known as an intellectual group of idols. Notably, College Cosmos’ large lineup includes Country Girls member Yamaki RisaMore COLLEGE COSMOS coverage from New School Kaidan

College Cosmos – My Revolution

The college girls get a return to the scene with their second single, “Shiawase no arika wa dochira desu ka / Watashi kakumei (幸せのありかはどちらですか/わたし革命)”. Titled in English as “Where is the place where I can find happiness?” opens with the sun filtering through the trees and a solo from Hello! Project member Yamaki Risa singing a gentle pop song in the collegiate atmosphere. The girls look wistfully into the future in the picture perfect campus. Certainly, the group takes it’s theme seriously as these girls look to life beyond the idol scene.

In the second of the double A-side PVs, the College Cosmos girls get a more rousing tempo as a combination of busy piano work competes with acoustic guitars in the “Watashi kakumei” arrangement. Using an instagram account as the framing device, the PV snaps shots of the girls as they rehearse and study. Although that description sounds a bit like a stalker wrote it, “Watashi kakumei” feels like a pure expression of idol and idol life. The group is really here to cheer you on life, right?

“Yume wa Ijiwaru / Kotoba no Mizu wo Roka Shitai / Kigou Nanka ja nai Watashitachi wa (夢は意地悪/言葉の水を濾過したい/記号なんかじゃない私たちは; Dreams Are Unkind / I Want to Filter the Water of Words / We are not such things like symbols.” is College Cosmos’ debut single. It will be released on March 6, 2019 in four editions: one regular and three limited. The first press of Limited Editions A and B come with a random trading card of 12 kinds depending on the jacket (24 in total) which is also a handshake event participation ticket.
The track “Kotoba no Mizu wo Roka Shitai” was pre-released digitally on October 3, 2018.[3] “Yume wa Ijiwaru” was chosen as the official support song for the T League men’s teams Kinoshita Meister Tokyo and women’s team Kinoshita Abyell Kanagawa.

This is the only single to feature Nitadori Megumi who decided to withdraw from the group on January 21, 2019 and was only able to participate in the A-side “Kotoba no Mizu wo Roka Shitai”.

Rounding out the A-sides of this triple debut release, College Cosmos bring to your their promotional video for “We are not such things like symbols (記号なんかじゃない私たちは, Kigou nanka janai watashitachi wa)”. In floral lavender dresses, the girls choreograph themselves in a high-ceilinged box of a sound stage. Working with lyrics from Kodama Ameko and a Ohashi Riko composition, College Cosmos work through a PV that’s mostly a dance shot with the latest Hello! Project fad graphics: translucent geometric overlays and split screen black & white. The spectacle of the group of girls in their flowing choreography definitely catches the eye. I’ll just say it: these college girls look GREAT. Halfway through “Kogou nanka janai watashitachi wa”, we get a variety of of camera angles of the girls lined up in forced perspective and in static positions. Conceptually simple, this final PV from the College Cosmos debut gives us a good look at the members and their choreography without the burden of a forced narrative. College Cosmos’ first single “Yume wa Ijiwaru / Kotoba no Mizu wo Roka Shitai / Kigou Nanka ja nai Watashitachi wa” goes on sale March 6, 2019.

Starting with its musical motif on piano, “Yume wa ijiwaru (夢は意地悪)” from new group “College Cosmos” decorates our view with visions of blue. Using the photographic medium as its metaphor for dreams, the college girls really outdo themselves in looking cute and ready for the big time of their debut single. The look through the camera’s viewfinder makes for a unique framing of the video, as the girls flood the halls and lobbies of the campus. The large (and I mean LARGE) group aesthetic is not something that you will see from many Up Front acts, so the College Cosmos approach feels fresh. Of course, you will see much of the familiar metaphors: balloons float into the sky and the sunlight hits the camera at inspiring angles. And, I quite like the musical offering brought to the table by the pair of Omori Shoko and Tokisawa Nao. The sound of “Yume wa ijiwaru” is expansive and inspiring in its use of melodies that intersect the vocals with the piano motif. This is a great start for College Cosmos; I can’t wait to hear more!

College Cosmos? Who are they? Well, the group of 25 college students is a collaboration between Up Front and Space Craft Group who run college beauty pageants. Seeing as the group will perform at the Hello Project 20th Anniversary Hello! Fest 2018 AND at the Satoyama/Satoumi events later this month, I think it’s safe to assume the group will play a part in the next stage of Hello! Project. Dressed in simple white dresses adorned with long burgundy ribbons, the members of College Cosmos perform “Kotoba no mizu o roka shitai” with a lyrical chorus style that might be associated with other groups with a number appended to their name. College Cosmos sure pick out great sights with their dance shots perched high above a mountain lake and with the greens of the scenery pushed to the edge of distortion. What has the Hello! Project fan base REALLY clicking their tongues is the prominent inclusion of Country Girls member Yamaki Risa. The official story had Risa performing with Country Girls on a part time basis so she can focus on her collegiate studies, but with her participation in this new group the official story sounds more and more suspect. So, what do you think? Leave your comments below, and check out a digital copy of “Kotoba no mizu o roka shitai” below.
